The Girl In Platform Slides

By Kleppers




A few years ago on a nice summer day I had gone to town to do
some shopping. I was strolling down a street, trying to
remember the things I had to buy, when I saw this girl on the
other side of the street. She was standing still with her
back turned to the shop behind her, her arms crossed, and her
legs close together. Her hair and makeup were in punk style,
with dark eye shadow and black lip stick. She wore a short
shabby velvet-like sweater that left her nicely pierced belly
button naked, and a tight worn-down legging that covered her
lower legs only partially. On her bare feet with black
polished toe nails she wore the
highest and sexiest platform slides I have ever seen. They had a
single silver-colored strap and a 4 to 5 inch thick cork
sole; the chunky heels must have been about 8 to 10 inches.

Totally surprised by her enchanting appearance I felt like I was
struck by lightning. Apparently she stood there waiting for
someone. With a pounding heart and with my eyes fixed on her, I
waited for the things to come. Out of the shop behind her
came another girl, apparently a friend of hers. The other girl
was wearing an army jacket, jeans, and heavy black boots.
After a short discussion they started walking down the streets. While the
girl in boots just strolled off, the girl in the slides very
slowly came into motion, taking small, shuffling steps. With each
careful step her feet deviated from the platform soles and slapped
back, while the chunky heels were clumping on the pavement.
Constantly curving her toes, she was visibly taking pains in
keeping the losely fitting slides on her feet. In this way,
insecurely wiggling and balancing on her astronomously high slides, she
carefully shuffled down the streets, taking her vulnerability for
granted and trying to ignore her restricted mobility and the gazes of other people.

Every now and then the girl in boots paused and waited for her
friend to catch up with her. At one time however, she shouted
in Dutch that she had to hurry up. The girl in slides shouted
back that she couldn't walk that fast in her slides, which
was all to obvious for anyone seeing her. What made me almost explode with
excitement was the word she used for 'slides', which she
named klepperdekleppers.

I forgot all about the shoppings I had to do and I descretely
followed her for more than an hour but I didn't have the guts
to tell her what a great slides she was wearing and what a magnificent
job she was doing with walking in them.
